More and more lawyers and other legal professionals are using electronic trial presentation software to present evidence in court. If done well, electronic documents can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a case. Poorly presented evidence, however, can risk both the case and the trial presenter's reputation.

As courtrooms adopt new technologies, IT professionals, courtroom personnel, and trial presenters can find a wide range of equipment available in each new situation. Being organized and knowing how to work both old and new systems are the two best strategies.

The Trial Presentation Professional Certificate Program will enable the trial presenter to stay at the top of your game by recognizing what to present and how to present it.  Experience in trial presentation and familiarity with trial presentation software is a plus for this program but certainly not a requirement.

The curriculum includes six modules containing over two hours of video instruction followed by a 40-question written assessment of the candidate's ability to perform the duties of a trial presentation professional.  Candidates must pass with 80% or better.  Total CEU 0.225
